Bottle Filling Machines for Liquids – Designed & Built in the UK
Precision Bottle Filling Machines for Efficient Production
Universal Filling Machine Company designs and builds bottle filling machines in the UK for liquids of all types.
Our machines are configured to suit your product, bottle size, and production requirements, helping manufacturers and contract packers achieve precise, reliable filling every time.
This page will guide you through the types of machines available and help you choose the right solution for your operation.
Choosing the Right Bottle Filling Machine
Selecting the right bottle filling machine depends on your bottle type, production speed, and liquid characteristics.
Use semi-automatic machines for flexibility and small-medium production, or fully automatic machines for high-speed, high-volume operations. Consider bottle material (plastic, glass), neck size, viscosity, and any particulates in the liquid — this page will guide you to the ideal solution.

Universal’s Bottle Filling Machines fall in to one of two categories; Semi-Automatic or Fully Automatic, and two distinct filling technologies are used; Vacuum Level Filling or Volumetric Filling, depending on the containers and liquids being filled.
Level of Automation
Filling Principle/Technology
Semi-Automatic Bottle Filling Machines
Bottles are hand-placed and each filling cycle is started by the operator
Ideal for low to medium production runs
Flexible for various bottle sizes and liquids
Great for startups, small and medium enterprises
Portable, compact and quick to set-up
Fill volumes can range from 10ml to 25 litres
Machines can be upgraded to handle increasing future demand
Fully Automatic Bottle Filling Machines
Bottles are supplied via conveyor system and each filling cycle is started automatically
High-speed output for larger operations
Fully configurable for liquids of different viscosities
Suitable for medium to high-volume manufacturers
Easily adjusted to fill a variety of liquids containers and fill volumes.
Can seamlessly combine with other packaging operations, such as capping or labelling
Vacuum Level Bottle Filling Machines
Bottles are filled by creating a vacuum within the bottle, causing liquid to be drawn in
Precise, consistent level fills, ideal for products on retail display
Requires rigid containers such as glass bottles to work
Works well with low-viscosity liquids such as perfumes and drinks
Good for sensitive liquids and hygienic production
Piston Fillers/Volumetric Bottle Filling Machines
Bottles are filled by the motion of a piston within a cylinder to displace liquid
Excellent for viscous or thick liquids
Works with particulate-containing liquids
Variants available for acids, bleaches and similar products
Ideal for flexible containers such as plastic bottles
Ranges from tabletop semi-automatic to large freestanding automatic machines
Fully Automatic Bottle Filling Machines
Our Automatic Bottle Filling Machines are built for high-speed, high-volume production. With electro/pneumatic PLC controls, these machines handle liquids of all types — including viscous liquids and those with particulates — and accommodate containers from 5 ml to 5 L.
Designed for easy setup, quick changeovers, and user-friendly operation, they minimise downtime while maximising throughput for bottles of all shapes and sizes.
Semi-Automatic Bottle Filling Machines for Small to Medium Production
For small to medium production, our semi-automatic bottle filling machines provide precision, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
Perfect for businesses transitioning from manual to automated processes, they handle a wide array of liquid viscosities and bottle types. Manual control allows fine-tuning for specific bottles, while maintaining consistent fill levels and reducing waste.
